Huo Feng was dropped off at his grandpa’s place by Ye Xi, and as soon as he got out of the car, his mood started to sink.
Back in his own room, to prevent Shen Nuan from coming in and disturbing his emotions, he locked the door behind him.
Sure enough, within two minutes, Shen Nuan ca running up to knock on his door.
"My dear nephew, open the door! Open the door quickly, my dear nephew!"
"My dear nephew, don’t pretend to be asleep. I know you are in there, oh!"
"My dear nephew, I have sothing to tell you!"
"Yo-ho~ Huo Feng!"
Shen Nuan knocked and called out at his door for a while, saying a lot of things.
But Huo Feng didn’t respond to her.
About five minutes later, disheartened, Shen Nuan gave up completely and left.
It wasn’t until Shen Nuan’s voice disappeared that Huo Feng’s world finally regained its quiet.
But this silence was only in his ears, not in his heart.
At that mont, Huo Feng’s mood was terrible, heavy, and oppressed!
He had heard again about Pu Sangzhi’s past, about a segnt of her life that deeply pained him.
Huo Feng could never be a part of her past, but he had heard about it.
The more he learned about her, the more uncomfortable it made him feel...
Huo Feng thought carefully...
Actually, what Ye Xi said was true.
Sangzhi’s life had not been easy.
It was indeed fortunate for her to have made it this far, to continue her studies, and to maintain her dream of Tsinghua so vividly.
Nobody had the right to derail her life, nor to change her plans.
Not even Huo Feng.
It was not until that mont that Huo Feng rembered what his father, Huo Mingshan, used to say when he scolded him.
His father had warned him from the start: not to ruin Sangzhi’s life, not to lead her astray!
Every ti his father made such a statent, Huo Feng just laughed it off and never took it seriously.
Because he always thought, what’s the big deal about falling in love... it couldn’t affect one’s life.
But now, today, at this very mont...
Huo Feng was starting to understand that her life was different from his.
Sangzhi’s life couldn’t afford a single mistake.
That’s why, from the mont he knew her, she was always so ticulous and serious, always calm and composed, like a fire that never blazed hot.
Thinking about it, Huo Feng felt his chest was especially stuffy!
"Ah..."
He let out a long sigh, furrowed his brow, and pounded his chest with his fist.
The feeling was incredibly uncomfortable!
It was as if at that mont, he saw himself as a stumbling block.
It must be because he wasn’t good enough, because he wasn’t outstanding enough...
That in her world, even Huo Feng felt like he was a burden, the kind that could drag her down at any ti.
Huo Feng had never been so overwheld by such oppressive emotions...
And at that mont, he underwent deep reflection.
The more he thought about it, the worse he felt, the more uncomfortable it beca...
Eventually, tortured by psychological pressure, he inexplicably called his father, Huo Mingshan.
This was the first ti Huo Feng had taken the initiative to call Huo Mingshan since high school!
The first ti...
And the call was quickly answered.
The mont it was answered, Huo Feng could hear his father’s surprise as Huo Mingshan said loudly, "You little rascal! What trouble have you caused now? Can you stop causing problems for once?"
That’s right...
Sa formula, sa father...
Huo Feng sighed, his voice low as he started, "Dad, I want to talk."
On the other end, Huo Mingshan paused for a few seconds before speaking again in a fierce tone, "What good thing could you possibly want to talk about with ! Speak directly! Don’t beat around the bush!"
"Dad..."
Huo Feng wasn’t looking to argue with him today, he just wanted to say, "You always say... Could I actually be a drag on Sangzhi?"
Obviously, Huo Mingshan hadn’t expected Huo Feng to ask such a question.
So there was another long pause on the phone...
When the voice finally returned, Huo Mingshan’s tone had beco more stable, "What’s the matter? You fought with her? Or did that first love intimidate you?"
"It’s not that..."
Huo Feng said mournfully, "You always say that her life can’t afford mistakes, that nobody can stop her from going to Tsinghua."
Huo Mingshan: "So what? You planning to give up?"
Huo Feng: "That’s not an option, giving up is impossible."
Huo Mingshan: "Then why are you wasting ti talking to ! You’re not expecting to motivate you, are you? I’ll tell you, boy, that’s absolutely not going to happen! If you want to talk about this topic, I can only tell you to give up!"
Huo Feng couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, "Dad, can you say sothing nice? My heart really hurts..."
Huo Mingshan: "Your heart hurts! Mine is almost pierced by you! You rotten kid just keep causing trouble! Ever since high school, you’ve never given peace of mind!"
"Dad... can you please just listen to ! Can we keep talking or not!"
Huo Feng instantly couldn’t hold back his anger, almost ready to argue with his father.
But fortunately, Huo Mingshan held back this ti: "What is it? Just say it! Why are you hemming and hawing!"
Huo Feng: "I just want to ask you one question, is there a problem with chasing her in high school!"
Huo Mingshan: "There’s a problem!"
Huo Feng: "So you an if I don’t chase her in high school, that would be okay!"
Huo Mingshan was taken aback: "Really?"
Huo Feng: "Is that it or not!"
Huo Mingshan: "Yes, that’s right, don’t chase! Don’t look for her, don’t pester her, can you do that!"
Huo Feng: "Okay."
Huo Mingshan couldn’t help frowning, "What do you an? Can you do that?"
Huo Feng: "Impossible."
Huo Mingshan couldn’t help but yell: "Then why the heck did you ask!"
Huo Feng: "Just asking."
Definitely just asking.
After asking, Huo Feng felt that he couldn’t do it.
Then let his heart keep hurting then!
To ask him not to chase her, not to look for her, not to pester her during the three years of high school might as well kill him!
"You rotten kid, what the hell are you trying to say?"
Huo Mingshan shouted loudly over the phone, "Speak clearly, don’t talk in such a muddled way."
Huo Feng said: "There’s nothing more to say. I’ve got the picture, go to sleep early, old man."
Huo Mingshan: "Huo Feng!"
Huo Feng: "That’s it, go to sleep early or you’ll go even balder! Goodbye!"
With that, Huo Feng hung up quickly before Huo Mingshan could burst into a rage.
After hanging up, Huo Feng took a long breath.
Although he had argued with his father, his heart didn’t feel as heavy after the quarrel.
Huo Feng had so realizations.
He then made another call to Ye Qingcao.
Because tonight, Ye Qingcao was staying over at Pu Sangzhi’s ho...
So, when the call connected, Huo Feng asked Ye Qingcao to hand the phone to Pu Sangzhi...
After being passed from one hand to another, Huo Feng finally heard Pu Sangzhi’s voice and managed to get through to her on the call.
Feling not in the best of moods, Huo Feng began, "Sangzhi, I have a serious question to ask you."
On the other end of the line, Pu Sangzhi’s voice was as gentle as ever, "What is it?"
Huo Feng asked: "Will I affect your life?"
Pu Sangzhi didn’t understand what he ant at first: "Huh?"
Huo Feng then phrased it differently: "I an, with pursuing you like this, does it bring you hardship?"
There was a pause on Pu Sangzhi’s side for a few seconds before she answered off the point, "Why do you ask that? Did Ye Xi say sothing to you?"
Huo Feng pursed his lips, struggling to say: "He told not to be with you during the three years of high school. You tell , does he make sense?"
Over the phone, Huo Feng clearly heard Pu Sangzhi laugh, then she said, "I think it makes a lot of sense, what do you think?"
"Ah..."
Huo Feng imdiately felt a pang in his chest, he pounded on his chest and sighed, "As expected, I am a stumbling block on your path in life. Even you think so..."
"Who said that?" Pu Sangzhi asked again.
"You just did..."
Huo Feng sighed: "So, if I weren’t around, your high school life would be easier, right? You don’t want to chase you, do you?"
If he had asked her this question several months ago, Pu Sangzhi would have definitely told him without hesitation: she really didn’t want him chasing her!
But now...
Pu Sangzhi no longer had the power to say that.
Suddenly hearing Huo Feng ask her this, she was slightly surprised, so she counter-asked, "Now you don’t want to chase anymore?"
Huo Feng: "I do..."
Pu Sangzhi chuckled softly: "Then why do you ask?"
Huo Feng sighed: "Because you don’t want to chase..."
Pu Sangzhi sighed softly, speaking in a very gentle tone, "Huo Feng, don’t waver."
Huo Feng: "Huh?"
Pu Sangzhi repeated, "Don’t waver. Keep going..."
Huo Feng: "Huh?"
Pu Sangzhi said for the third ti, "I an, keep going. I like you chasing ."
